Dial a Port The Top Tier Transport Guild

[Tupakk]

This is our official Guild Discussion Thread.

This is a thread for all to come and tell us about your experience and let us know how we can serve you better.

We are slowly making steps to increase our footprint on the server and on the Internet as well. We have decided to make a Facebook page to make it more interesting. Take pics or your porter and upload them for all to see, or comment about something or post something funny.

The address is Facebook.com/dap1999

We look forward to see what everyone has to say about us good or bad.

Thanks,
Afeni Shakkur and all of DaP

[RedXIII]

Great guys. Always saving me when no guildies to port me on my Monk.

Most are cool, but there are a few bad apples.

So nerdy it's brilliant! I had to check it out myself!

[Tenderizer]

Love Dial a Port. There was a time when I could barely find a member on for ports. Now, well, doing a /w dial shows a generous amount. Keep up the good work!

[Clark]

Bump for great group of people!

You are asking him to waste like 10 minutes of his life to save you about an hour. You should be kissing his feet.

Just to add to the rest of what he cut off, he proceeded to call me a rude prick and say welcome to ignore list. All I did was set a price for going out.

Just to let you know we are in the porting business, and not I'm and going to spend 40+ mins running thru high level zones dodging and weaving mobs that can one shot me in their sleep without setting a price.

I am truly sorry you didn't like my price and hope you did find a way out.

[Suwu]

these guys are great and friendly!

don't expect them to run to FoB, your nuts

[PDX0621]

I'll occasionally make the trek out to FoB for pickups, and always advertise as I'm passing through. That being said, anyone needing a pickup, take the 5 min or so to run from FoB through WW to OT. Your chances of a ride will go up about 1000%

Or the safer router, run through Cab into LOIO...pretty likely to find a ride from there as well. Don't take the welfare route, do a little work yourself.

[PDX0621]

Don't take the welfare route, do a little work yourself.

Whichever route you choose, some solid advice right here!

[EsmyD]

i think its a little crappy how DaP thinks everyone is rich, and has plat just laying around to tip someone that i have to run to (*ALWAYS*) and all they do is cast a spell...

and im saying is because my tip of 10p-15p for a port my character is apparently "blacklisted" by your guild for crappy tips...

didnt know you guys were so greedy and money grabbers.

Don't like it? Roll a class that can port. Their guild tag means they provide a service for a price.

[cmoore]

Also, since we're on the subject, I always give 10p for a port and hand it to them before we blast off so that they have an opportunity to ask for more. That is assuming I go to them or meet at a ring or spire. Is that fair? No one has said anything, but I'd hate to think you're collectively grumbling about me in /gu.

I pretty much tip 40-50pp unless theyre runnin for an evac or some out of the way pickup like fob

If ur new, then most porters generally dont mind porting for less or even free. Ive had donations refused by dap when i was on a noob char

[curtischoy]

Love this guild, it really is a fantastic service.

My worst experience was asking for a port and the guy said something like "oops, forgot to turn on /anon"

My best experience was a druid showing up randomly at the rings in feerrott and I asked him for an ejac for 80pp and he said yes.

Greatest time saver ever.

[nhdjoseywales]

While i usually drive a Sarasvati around Norrath, i love Dial-a-port. i crack them whenever i see them and use them whenever my Sara is in the shop (aka offline or busy). I wish there had been a service guild like this n my live server years ago. I think you guys should also take the next step and make a high end crafting guild too.

The fact of the matter is they don't HAVE to port you. You could just walk to your destination but you choose to ask for someone elses time to help you get somewhere else. Yeah all they do is cast a spell, but that spell is a commodity, a time saver. And time is money.

[BulletCatcher]

Down with unions. Tired of balcklists? Tired of needing to spam / all dial just to make it to your dungeon/raid? Want to find better ports without the hassle of unions with rules, minimums, and racketeriing? Ask adventuring druids in none union guilds for ports! We could use the dontations to better further our own career, instead of feeding some porting/twink building syndicate. Support adventuring druids, not an organized ring of extortionists (j/k, all in good fun, but really, get ports from None Dial A Port, support the adventuring druid.)

[Kengo]

Awesome guild. Very friendly, willing to do CR ports and have always been efficient.

Also, for future reference, if you're in FoB looking for a port, /w all Portlander. That dude is bound on Kurn's ramp and I always see him online. Super cool dude and in Dial.

Thanks for the service fellas!

[mystang89]

Yeah, gotta give props to dial for CR ports. Thanks.

[ObooReturns]

I have hired several <Dial A Porters> to move my newb characters on escort missions, so far zero deaths and they know the best ways to go. Would hire again A++

Also, for anyone griping about a price, go to the druid rings/wizard spires!!!! It should be obvious, but the guy isnt charging you 300pp for the port. Hes charging you 300pp because the meters running and you want him to run to BFE to track you down and pick you up.

I disagree. Many people in DaP are kind and considerate to poorer players, especially new people like myself. I had died in Oasis and forgot to bind in Freeport. I needed a port badly as I was only level 10 and could not go through Highpass or the "Rathe" Zones solo. Instead of inconveniencing a porter by getting me in Qeynos, I ran to the NK wizard spires and called DaP.

I explained to a kind dark elf wizard (apologies I forget your name, but I was the wood elf druid you ported), my situation and he gladly ported me to Nek. He accepted no tip when I offered him my 22 gold and even gave me clear instructions on how to get to the zone line to EC.

DaP's attitude in this situation is making me strongly consider in quitting my current guild to join them once I reach a level where I can port people and show the same courtesy to newbies in order to enhance DaP's great reputation for customer service even further.

[Portasaurus]

Shout out to my friends in DaP!!! Dial a Port, official sponsors of this Sunday's p99 Bumfights drunken bareknuckle boxing tournament!!

Dial-a-Port: Don't walk a mile, ride in style, type /who all dial TODAY! Friendly Druids and Wizards are standing by now!

[Ashur]

I have used Dial-A -Port maybe a half dozen times now and all but one were exceptionally nice and the couple times that I didn't have much plat when I was a new player, gave me a freebie or discount. I later paid around 25pp a port as I am starting to make cash and they are cool with that unless its an evac, understandably.

I only had problem with a port out of field of bone where porter was so drunk that he took me to the wrong place then abandoned me and he had all my cash, lol. I contacted another Dial member and they were sympathetic and helped me out. Good bunch of people overall and sure made getting ports quicker.

[Speedi]

Where u guys been? Haven't seen many of you online lately! Prob just /anon and enjoying velious I am guessing? I hope all is well!

/bump for friends

[Tupakk]

We're around. We are ensuring that all our porters are geared and ready. Mainly the Wizards as we can purchase spells for them yet and to buy them right now people are selling them at a very high amount. So we are stuck with farming them. We have ironically labeled it as Operation Wizzy.

As a community guild we like to make it fair for all our guild memebrs so we can continue to grow and do what we do best. Port and make the game better for everyone that uses our service.

Thanks,

Afeni

Really good service that you guys are providing. Keep it up.

[gkmarino]

Dial A Port (DAP) is awesome. I have always received a successful portal service within the first 2-3 minutes of searching / asking.

Recently had a DAP druid run across Iceclad Ocean to meet me for a portal. I was waiting at the Dragon Bridge and he insisted I let him run to me.

Also had a portal from Lavastorm to Cobalt Scar and I didn't have the tooth, he came back to pick me up and take me to Iceclad.

I usually tip 25-40plat (I'm able to give them C2) but I'm not a very rich man. I have about 4k plat total on my account.

Great Service A+ Never had a bad situation. I've even had someone who forgot to go anon and told me he was already on his last port, he still ported me after going anon.

[Portasaurus]

Dial-A-Port has the roomiest druids and wizards around!

such e commerce!!! I love it!

please recruit more euros =p

[Tupakk]

It has been another great year for Dial a Port, we have amassed a great number of members. Some have stuck around to enjoy the social aspects we provide and some have rose through the ranks and decided to move on to bigger and better things.

We would like to thank everyone that uses our service as it helps us continue to keep everyone ported safely around Norrath.

We currently have a member, Bocu , who has worked very hard on getting all the pieces of his epic and are looking to reach out to you guys to return the favor for us. His final piece is the elusive Fay and VS piece which we do not have the raid force obviously to contest. If we could get just one guild to take the time out of their day next Saturday or Sunday depending on when he pops to help us out we would much appreciate the help.

You can post in here if you are willing and or send me a PM.

As always happy porting and be safe out there.

Will there be a strike if no guild is up to the challenge?

[Tupakk]

Will there be a strike if no guild is up to the challenge?

Lol, No, but if nobody wants to help we will be quite sad.

[gildor]

Tup,

It will be a bit easier with the next patch to get that elusive VS and Fay. They will both be triggerable.

[mdogornone]

Well here is the treatment I've received from dial-a-port...

[am0n]

Eh, you asked for that one. You could have just left it at "Sorry, 23p was all I had on me." You were the one that had to start with the name calling.

As for his comment on the tip; well, it's a tip. He needs to get over it. I've seen people that tip 0. But his comment still doesn't justify your response.

[Verath]

23p is really weak unless you're under 50.

10-20 peridots should be the standard. I take 1 peridot off for everything 30 seconds I wait.

[Fanguru]

Yadi yada, if you expect a minimum payment, be upfront and ask for that payment.
If you say porting for donations, people chose how much they donate.

[gildor]

thats the thing, DAP doesnt ask for donations, it is a service

OT is a pretty out of the way location..just saying

[Fanguru]

If it's a service, agree on a payment before providing the service, basic business :)

[Dirtynads]

Well here is the treatment I've received from dial-a-port...

Any complaints should be brought forward to guild leadership as soon as they happen so we can deal with them. Posting this is server chat or RNF would be a better place to address this issue.

[Mordies]

I use to be in DaP, didn't lvl fast enough for them, log in one day was kicked, No biggie now am 51 with all ports. I make money when I want too. I still use them for other toons there are really nice people and some I wouldn't let port me if I was dieing. Just how it goes. all in all good services.

[Legi0n]

If you're running your guild like a business and require a payment for services rendered, then you need to be more formal. Mandatory script /ooc and /tells.

And your members should never be dumping people off in unintended locations. If you want to punish someone for not paying the tip you wanted, then report it internally and don't port them again if you so choose.

ummm no idea what your talkin about mate..we have no lvl requirments and leveling speed has never even been mentioned before never mind a thing. Far as your toon not being removed I have no idea considering I am the only who can remove members from the guild.

You are quite mistaken, We don't have a level restriction nor do we kick members for leveling slow. There is only one way to get removed from the guild and that is to not follow our four pretty simple rules. If you provide your in game name I can look into your kick further.

If someone dropped you off in the wrong location and left you I am sorry. If you PM me the name of your porter I will look into this further.

As far as setting up mandatory scripts and tells , yes that would work but make what we do very robotic. We are a social and CSR guild where ever situation is different. I wouldn't ask a lvl 10 who ran from Qeynos to NK to get a port to WC the same as I would a lvl 45+ sitting at the rings.

We strive to be a welcoming presence here not give us plat or piss off.

If anyone ever has a problem don't hesitate to PM me. We take great pride in doing what we do and how we do it.

[Mordies]

Really it's no biggies, I'm FoH and from what I understand we have good standing with DaP All I know is I login one day was not in the guild.... my toons name it Hight but like I said not big deal. Not like I would leave FoH to re-join anyways.

So We have been Sceretly working on our Guild Cleric and have finally gotten our Epic for him. We are proud to say that Dial a Port can now add 96% Rez to our list of things we do for Norrath.

It all started last week when we were hunting for people selling. Being in Dial a Port has its advantages. We know everyone it is a great curse.

This is the life of a DaP Porter

This is just one step to the Dial a Port Empire.

If you Need a Rez send us a Tell because , like always, We do it all!!

[Valse]

Nice!! Much <3 for my DAP friends.

[Sorn]

Yay!

[Aeaolena]

Awesome! :)

[CantuMachine]

My little 30 Druid really should apply for this guild.. A little social time never hurts when you're bored of leveling and find yourself offering ports around the world to strangers looking to increase their own level of fun in-game.

Give anyone in the guild a tell, and someone will hook you up with a guild tag.

[Naethyn]

DAP is a great guild and one of the best things to happen to this server. The leadership is extremely helpful, and any wizard or druid new to this server should consider the help.

[Tupakk]

Well thank you, We try our best to keep everyone happy. I am glad you enjoy what we bring to the table.

[Foxplay]

When Friends don't port me around, DaP is there
When ppl on my stream cant port me around DaP is there
When its 6am in the morning DaP.....oh crap theres no DaP online!, guess ill log off for awhile.....

[Tupakk]

It is that time of the year. With the in rush of new players, old players, and hell even current players are looking for something new. Well DaP can solve that problem for you. Not only can you make plat, but you get to have fun while doing it. You will make new friends possibly get some awesome items depending on how much effort you put into porting.

So without further adue we are now actively recruiting members.

As always if you have any questions don't hesitate to PM me or send a tell in game.

Happy Porting.

Final Picture of the Night

http://puu.sh/o9bga/9e1e8ed3e8.jpg

Towards the End a GM did come and grace us, hidden and unknown. Tossed me a DE illusion but most of us had scatted or gone AFK.

For those who are interested in the guild just type /who all dial and anyone in the guild will be more than happy to give you information about us and or direct you to someone in the guild that can.

If anyone is wanted to join all you need is a passion for porting and making some coin while doing it. There is no level requirements nor do we take any cuts from what you make.

From Dial a Port to you we wish you well and safe hunting.

(Edit: Guess images don't show anymore? )

[Kaight]

I've never had a single conversation with this "Tupakk" but he continually sends me tells about potatoes. Do not trust. Avoid at all costs.

(<3 Tupakk and DaP. Thank you for porting my ass around all the time, including tonight on two consecutive corpse runs, both at no cost.)

[LethClaypool]

I'm potentially looking to rejoin on my Leth.

I do have a question though - is requesting donations rather than outright payment still looked down upon? I ask because it's a detail of my hotkey but can easily be changed.

Feel free to respond here or contact me in game.

[Tupakk]

Well we are going on Year 3 of this guild and still rolling strong.

As we continue to grow with the rest of the server we are always looking for fresh new faces or even the old faces that want to experience in a different way.

To all the newcomers to the server we welcome y'all with open arms to come and join our ranks have fun and make a little coin in the process.

We have no level requirement and most of us are officers and able to invite you on the spot.

We might not be the top raiding guild but we make up for it with fun in guild events and once a month meetings filled with games and chances to win plat or even gear.

You can check us out on our forums dialaport.freeforums.net (http://dialaport.freeforums.net) or ask questions here

We look forward to to hearing from you.

[Tupakk]

Dial a Port is moving into the final stages of its yearly recruiting drive and up to almost 100k in total prizes and cash handed out. I want to say thank you to all those that continue to make DaP great and strong.

On to other things, our FB team recently took a bunch of pictures of an awesome show in the Midwest , which is a mix of circus and equestrian artistry.

You can check it out on our Facebook page at http://facebook.com/dap1999

As always if you ever have any questions, comments, and concerns our leadership is always around as well as connected to many forms of communications. Help us help you.

Happy Porting and Be Safe Norrath!!

[Nastorian]

I am interested in Joining DaP with my druid Wealenn, what do i need to do i didnt see a app.

[Sylex]

Nastorian,

Please visit our forums at DialAPort.freeforums.net and register an account. You may review a full list of guild rules once registered. All you have to do after that is contact someone in-game and ask if there is an officer online. They will forward your request to guild leadership so someone can come and meet you / invite you to guild. Feel free to add me to friends (ingame name is Soske) and I will be happy to invite you if I am online - although I am not a "true" officer I do have privileges. Happy porting!

Warm regards,

Soske - 41 Wizard <Dial A Port> - Project 1999
Sylex - 91 Bard - Saryrn Server (Retired)

[Tupakk]

Good catch Soske. Guess the Holidays got in the way of the email notification.

Everything he said. Any questions just ask someone in game or on the forums.

[Azoraa]

The best thing that could happen on the server would be less reliance on teleports and let people return to their original guilds. I had a char be asked to join and am glad that I declined since reading those screen captures and their ridiculous demands. I sure don't mind walking and taking boats so that I don't have to hand over all loads of coin to keep from getting on some blacklist, or to have them shot-talking me in their guild channel. Fortunately, there are still some independent porters around who are not involved in whatever money-scheme DAP is doing. But because of how they run this operation plus the reliance on ports in this version of the game, they can get away with horrible behaviour like that 300pp incident and people are afraid to speak out.

[kk924]

Never had a problem. Every DaP porter I've ever hired express gratitude at a 35pp tip. Running somewhere that's convenient for the porter is basic courtesy. Expecting a pickup with no inflation to the price is absurd. That's not just gaming...it's economics.

Now with 200% more unicorns!

[Sylex]

The rare instances in which members of the guild ask for specific amounts of plat are dealt with accordingly, as it is not our policy to do so unless under very specific circumstances (i.e. Wizard ports to Hate / Sky where one must pay at least 262p to cover the cost of the reagent). If you have any other questions please shoot me a tell in game.

Soske - Senior Officer <Dial a Port>

[Tupakk]

Dial a Port is proud to say we have hit the record has having the largest guild currently in EQ.

WE CURRENTLY ARE SITTING AT 1300 MEMBERS.

So basically we are the 1 to 1 with the server pop. We at Dial a Port would like to thank you for helping us help you.

Lastly you might see a new DaP cleric running around lately named Daplilrezza. He was create for you and by you to assist you. He is fully epiced Thanks to Kluwen. All one has to do is but ask and if someone can log him on and has the time.

Let's make 2017 as great as it can.

This right here. If you want the service provided by someone, you need to compensate them in a form they agree upon. Wether it be plat or /dances, they are providing a service to you, and should be payed. Would you go out of your way to help a total stranger for free every time one asked you? That's basically what people are asking for from DaP.

No one forces anyone to use ports. There are boats that are free, use them, make friends with a porter, or pay.

Used Dial-A-Port many, many times. such a great service, have not had any issues yet... I hope I don't tip too low (usually 45 - 60PP, or 40pp + a gem).

[Belgariod]

Do you ever help lowbie wizards lvl? Especially newcomer

[dialabum]

Do not use Dial A Port. They talk shit about you as they port you around if you don't have a 30p+ tip. They think it makes them important that they spend hours doing the bidding of other people for pocket change.

Shout out to DAP, and my favorite porter Asmodean! Woot, u guys rock

Question: is it profitable or worth it for you guys to setup shop/bind at hammerhill? I know not everyone hammers or can invis , but gee, would be awesome if that were the norm. Maybe fewer ports but higher lvl toons/tips no?

We try. And I can bring it up at the next guild meeeting and see how everyone feels. We post up at the ZL out of sheer convience.

niiice. yeah just feel like that should be the hub/norm. theres always higher lvl toons hanging out there. if youve ever afk'd right on the boat hammer spot, u see people popping in constantly. If a wiz was chilling there w DAP tag up, people would be delighted, tip higher, and that wiz would be an absolute banking hero.

people that dont have a hammer in OT in need of ports are likely xp'n, and wont constantly need ports. just broadcast "@ hammerhill" in ur msg w/ maybe a tip how to get there "invis, hug left, hug left again past foreman."

only issue I see is lower lvls agroing foreman, as your just outside of his range when hugging left outpost wall to get to the hill. also not being near a ZL to zone agro mistakes. this is probly why ramp has been the norm. lower lvls/people that have issues getting to HH wouldnt likely tip very much anyway. and there will always be porters at ramp.

my suggestion is an upscale HH service. hell, even ask for a minimum donation/tip, the time saved is totally worth it. would be like a limousine in a sea of lvl 30 droodz (sooty shity new york taxis)

[Tupakk]

LOL Ill pitch it just like that.

[Knowmercy]

yeah you know all know what im talkin about.

sooty faded yellow taxi smelling of puke with multi color gum stuck everywhere. sun-faded virgin mary beads/misc religious items swinging and clanging from a duck taped cracked rear view mirror. used baby diapers and condoms lazily kicked and crammed under the water/pee logged mildewing floormats. long since ripped/blown speakers buzzing static and what sounds like tejano music fuzzing in and out of a foreign talkshow prayer mosque. you cant tell if your driver is chanting, singing, or cursing at the traphic/radio as he mumbles incoherently in multiple languages into 4 different blue tooth devices on his ear, angrily spitting sunflower seeds out the window. a busted/laggy credit card reader glitches and pixelates as 4 people crammed into the back seat frantically trying to pay and gtfo, holding back projectile vomit (you know when your porter doesnt move and is jammed on top of 12 other people spawned into the same loc at the WC spires).

VS.

Asmodean's full white glove limo service. Gentleman dressed to the nines gracefully exits and opens your limousine door, with a tophat, and a custom made cane tucked under his left arm. a firm hand clad in a polished leather drivers glove extended out for the ladys, smelling of fine sandlewood.

All in all a great service. Personally, I always feel bad if I can't tip at least 50p, and since my highest lvl toon is a lvl 36, that almost never happens, so I generally avoid getting ports altogether if I can. Though, I have to admit that more than a few times I've been grumbled at on my lower lvl toons for only giving 10 or 15p as a tip, which confuses me. Why would anyone in their right mind expect a lowbie to tip more than that? In fact, most lowbies don't even have that much, and if they're a caster, even if they do have that much, they can't afford to spend it unless they want to severely hinder their lvling process due to inability to buy spells/reagents. I guess my point is that you should be ashamed if you ask lowbies(toons lower than 20 especially) for anything more than about 5-10p as a tip. Honestly if you want more than that, then you shouldn't port lowbies at all. I understand you're sacrificing your time to do this, but that does little to justify such a thing.

It is that time of the year. With the in rush of new players, old players, and hell even current players are looking for something new. Well DaP can solve that problem for you. Not only can you make plat, but you get to have fun while doing it. You will make new friends possibly get some awesome items depending on how much effort you put into porting.

So without further adue we are now actively recruiting members.

As always if you have any questions don't hesitate to PM me or send a tell in game.

Happy Porting.

Anytime. I could do this once a week. I had a blast being a normal player for a change.
